The Board of Directors of Unit 180 ACBL met on Feb 14, 2006 at the home of member of the unit, Paulette Sherrell. The meeting was convened at 5:45 pm with a quorum of two officers and three board members present.

 

The meeting was convened by the president, Walter Lewis. Also present were Treasurer, Lynne Logan, and members, Shirley Fung-A-Fat, Joyce Dozier and Richard Weaver. Also attending the meeting were unit members Joe Woods and Anne Mahaffey. Absent board members included Richard Bryant, Vice President, Ray Skillestad, Secretary, Jim Crowe and Don Hopes.

 

Minutes of the January meeting were read. A correction was made to show that Lynne Logan was asked to complete the application for and arrange for signing of the SBA loan in the amount of $278, 000. January minutes were approved as corrected.

 

The chairman and the board congratulated Lynne Logan on her election to the post of Treasurer for District 10 of the ACBL.

 

If the SBA loan is not needed, the initial $10,000 received will be returned and the balance of the loan canceled. The President, Secretary and Treasurer will sign the loan papers and receive the $10,000. This will secure the loan in case it is needed for a new building. Present plans are to return the $10,000 without following through for the entire loan.

 

Treasurer’s report for January was presented. Motion to approve by Fung-A-Fat. Motion carried.

 

There is a vacancy in the position of Hancock County board member (odd year election). The originally elected member was Bob Olsen who has now moved to Sacramento, CA. Jane Moore-Baker was appointed but has resigned because of her health. Motion was made by Logan to appoint Anne Mahaffey. Motion seconded and carried. The chair asked Anne Mahaffey to begin immediately.

 

Motion by Weaver, second by Mahaffey to abandon plans for a Regional in the unit in 2007 with intent to aim for resumption of the regular Super Bowl Regional in 2008. Motion carried.

 

General discussion was held on land for building a new clubhouse. A piece of land on Three Rivers, an acre and a half, was discussed. The list price is $186,000. Motion by Fung-A-Fat to authorize Dozier to secure details with intent at next board meeting to enter into a contingency agreement offering $5,000 to hold for purchase at $175,000, contingent on vote of the membership and on closure of the sale of the unit’s property on the beach. Motion seconded and carried.

 

The delayed annual meeting of the general membership will be held on Sunday March 26 at 1 pm at the Coalville Methodist Church site. The following items were placed on the agenda for the general meeting:

Election of the odd year board positions (originally scheduled for December of 2005). This includes one from each of the three counties and two at large positions.

 

Ace of Clubs and Mini-McKenny awards for last year.

 

Potential purchase of property and building of a new clubhouse.

 

There being no further business to come before the board, the meeting was adjourned at 6:40 pm. Next scheduled board meeting will be Tuesday March 14, again at the home of Paulette Sherrell.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

Richard E Weaver,

Acting Secretary
